Hostages taken in a jewelry store in Montpellier, Southern France, have been released after the man holding them surrendered to police. The incident evolved shortly after hostages were freed in Paris and Charlie Hebdo suspects killed in Northern France.

The incident in Montpellier has caused a new wave of panic in
France as it followed less than an hour after the Charlie Hebdo
suspects were killed in Northern France and a hostage siege in a
kosher store in Paris ended, where a gunman and four hostages
were killed.
